Description
Title:
Designer Color Shades by Computer Simulation Utility
Description of the invention:
The designer can choose the substrate (textile Dyeing/ Printing, Fiber Blend) onto which the specific color (designer color) of his choice would go. There are 6 available colorants, whose depth can be visualized as a function of its concentration. Based on the designer color, he can create it choosing 1-6 of the available colorants. The designer can play with the spinner wheels (which determine the concentration of the colors) to fine-tune the specific color of his choice. This color thus developed can be put on the object (car, chair, cloth, dress etc) of interest and a three dimensional view of the object with the specific color can be visualized. Further, this color can also be observed under different illuminants.

Process for Textiles:
DATABASE.
As the colorant database comprises of:
o Reflectance values of the substrate in the range 350-760 nm. o A number of substrates can be stored for the Reflectance values 350-760 nm. o The Reflectance values of colorants (dyes) made as finite concentration levels, as under are stored in the range 350-1100 nm. o 0.01%, 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0, 1.5%, 1.75%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0,
4.0%, 5.0%. o This is an example the concentration levels are decided by the user by the working range of the colorants (Dyes). There are finite levels for each colorant, o For one colorant the concentration levels may be 10, for the other it might be 15, for the third it may be 20. o The range of concentration may also be different, o The Substrate/s and concentration levels of all colorants are Color spectrophotometric measurements in the range 350-760 nm. o Different models of Color Spectrophotometers may have different spectral ranges and intervals like 350-760 nm, 360-760 nm and 400-700nm
From the Reflectance Database, by Kubelka Munk equation the K/S are generated for substrate and each concentration level of Colorant.
Thus we have data. Substrate: λ ( K/S) Substrate
400 value
405 value
410 value
415 value
700 value
Colorants (Dyes): λ K/S(0.01) K/S( 0.025) K/S(0.05) K (0.1) K/S(5%)
400 value value value value value
405 value value value value value
410 value value value value value
415 value value value value value
700 value value value value value for all colorants(Dyes.)
Note:
1. From this database in the range 400-700 nm the above calculations for generating Color/Color Synthesis are done for color match. This can also be 360-760 nm or 350- 760 nm.
2. The interpolation used for (KIS) versus concentration as required for equation (4) could be linear, or Lagrange or polynomial, or any suitable interpolation equation.
Reflectance of the mix (for the designer color) is synthesized by the following Color Synthesize formula, in the range 360-700 nm. This is done for all the mixes of designer colors, using concentration additive color mix with K/S.
From the (K/S)mκ we can calculate the predicted designer color Reflectance in the range 400-
700 nm ranges by the quadratic equation.
Thus we have Reflectance of mix in the range 400-700 nm.
The Reflectance of the color to be added to the designer color is converted in to tristimulus values X Y Z.
K is called the normalization constant for the condition for %Reflectance =100% for a perfect
Reflector, Y=100.
We employ the D65 CIE tables from the technical Bulletin of CIE for Energy Distribution of D65 llluminant. The CIE D65 table are 5 nm based. We do a Lagrange interpolation and calculate the data at 1 nm, from 5 nm, and store in the tables, for 1 nm interval.
The xbar, ybar, z,bar table for 10 degree observer 1964 are taken from Wyszecki Stiles book at
1 nm interval.
We then use sRGB color space for X Y Z to R G B conversion. This is given below:
We first decimalize the X Y Z values. So, we get the R G B values, as unitary scale for D65 llluminant, and 10 degree Observer.
We convert the R G B thus obtained to 0 to 255 scales.
R= R unitary X 255 G= G unitary X 255 B= B unitary X 255
The above R G B we employ for creation of three-dimensional designer color, in addition of two dimensional shade cards.
Note: the X Y Z to R G B can be done as per various RGB Color Spaces like:

Thus by making the measurement in D65/10 degree, we can do the Chromatic Adaptation transform to any other llluminant /Source.
This enables us to depict the three-dimensional designer color in any user switched on illuminant.
Rendering algorithm on three dimensional objects of the user's choice:
User is given a choice for the three-dimensional objects of his choice on which the color is to be rendered in textile industry.
Note: The X Y Z to R G B conversion can be done under the following RGB Color Spaces.
A library of such object is made as BMP, JPG files. The above objects in the library are converted in to gray images and the library is kept as library of gray images, of the type three- dimensional type. So we have a large library of three dimensional BMP, or JPG images that are gray.
Rendering algorithm:
Once the object is selected say Tee shirt. The programme scans the gray image for the individual pixels of the gray image
The gray image consists of pixels where R=G3B, or R and G and B are equal at various levels from O to 255.
For example, the scan may find 80% population of pixels where R=123 G=123 and B=123 10% population where R= 75 G=75 and B= 75, and so on. So, we have to find out which group of pixels with the same R G B is in majority.
We assign the R G B of the color to be rendered to this group of pixels, which are in the majority in the three dimensional object.
Now, the gray group with R G B higher will get R+(difference in R), G -^Difference in G), and B +(Difference in B) to give a lighter color to the group.
Now, the gray group with R G B lower will get R-(difference in R), G -(Difference in G), and B - (Difference in B) to give a darker color to the group.
Any group of pixels R and G and B > 255 R and G and B =255.
Also, any group of pixels R and G and B < 0 R and G and B = 0
Thus the whole three dimensional object will be at various pixels shades darker and lighter of the same color to produce the dimensional color render of the R G B to be rendered.
Any suitable render algorithm, other than the above may be used for the purpose of creating designer colors.
% Reflectance of each Shade in case required for matching etc.
The three dimensional designer color on the choice of user's own objects can be thus made.
Each color shade is shown as a three-dimensional color rendered on the object of user's choice of the size as desired by the user.
Utility value:
The design of the utility:
The purpose of the utility process to be patented is allowing the user to create Designer color, which possibly, did or did not exist in any shade card. The purpose of the utility is create something like kaleidoscope of T-Shirts or a whole gamut of Colors in Shirts etc., without the need to do the actual dyeing/printing. The mixing of Colorants (Dyes) is a computer simulation, where the user sits in front of a Super VGA, and by simple mouse click of Spinner wheel adds/removes different colorants on to a substrate. The process is, The user is allowed to select 1. A Substrate
2. From the available pool of colorants, 1 to 6 colorants to mix and create a new color from.
Now, the user enters the world of creation of a Designer Color.
If the user has a penchant or predilection for a violet color, or he wants to make a violet shade of his creation as designer color for his T-Shirt, he will select.
1. A violet Colorant.
2. A Red Colorant.
3. A Blue colorant.
4. A Black also to give depth.
By playing with the spinner wheel, where by each add/removal generates designer color, which he monitors, and renders on the object of his choice like TEE-Shirt.
Thus, he can create a virtual Kaleidoscope of T-Shirts of various color shades.
One, which he likes, he evaluates in different lighting conditions like CWF, Bulb, D65 etc., for color.
This can be a stand-alone system without the spectrophotometer also at a departmental store. The data of colorant must be the same as the data being used in the production unit.
This computer simulation can create a new wave in the fashion industry.
